Menches

Menches, also known as Asklepiades, was a Ptolemaic Egyptian village clerk at the end of the 2nd century BC. He was fluent in both Egyptian and Greek, and he had an Egyptian name and a Greek name, but he mostly used his Egyptian name, as he mostly dealt with fellow Egyptians. He proudly styled himself a "Greek born in this land" despite being predominantly or wholly Egyptian, as his knowledge of Greek gave him and his family a distinct status.
